Thanks. I was not aware of that. I need to add a note to my adapter to remember that later. If I use one of those tall canisters, since I already have a stand with hose to use on one of my existing stoves, I would be using a stove without a generator to heat the incoming fuel.

Several years ago for a non-biking trip I brought a regular kitchen type of fry pan with the handle removed to cut weight, that pan slid some on my stove supports a bit and on one occasion the pan slid off of the stove. After that I used some really course sand paper on a sanding block to rough up the bottom of the fry pan which helped a little bit on later trips.
